How will you ensure recipient areas can provide a quality training environment?

HEE will not be moving training posts unless the local Postgraduate Dean is able to provide assurance to all key stakeholders including the wider healthcare system that there is local capacity to train, deliver the full curriculum and provide quality support to all trainees, taking into account specific training elements.

In addition to local assurance, there are two sub-groups of the Distribution Programme Board, tasked with enabling and supporting gaining locations. These are:

• Remote, rural, coastal and small training locations group including a delivery network incentivising and preparing locations
• Creating Educational Capacity group tasked with piloting alternative supervision models whilst in a period of growth, and supporting gaining locations

All new posts will be closely monitored via the HEE Quality Framework and local teams to monitor trainee feedback. A full impact assessment will be commissioned in early 2023 to monitor the impact of the changes.
